The Russo's

 Pictures from the fall church backdrop  We went to Nana & Papa's house the night before Thanksgiving. The kids made gingerbread houses.  We went back for lunch on Thanksgiving Day. Josh carved the turkey.  Family pictures We had supper at Nana B's house that night The next day we take out our Christmas tree and not many lights were working. We decided to try Walmart so we could get it done that day.  On the way, I saw Waffle House wasn't busy so we stopped and had breakfast. Being silly! We found a pre-lit tree and got it decorated It was a good day with our family 

We had Grace and Kaden some while Jen worked.  Took them to CC's  Hudson climbed up pretty high in the tree! 4H meeting  Checking on the gardens The carrots that they planted started to come in  Gianna started with sniffles and congestion on November 9th. By the end of the week both of the kids had headaches. Gianna felt nauseated and had fever in the afternoon on Friday. Hudson started low grade fever that evening. I got the home test from Walgreens and they both tested positive for Covid. It was mild symptoms. I didn't have symptoms, but I lost my taste and smell a week later as did the kids.  Gianna had watch day for dance on November 16th. Josh also made it to watch some. 

Maw Ella passed away on November 4, 2021. After a few falls, she started to go down within the month before.  Papa and KK sang a few songs Jennifer did a really great job on the eulogy. It was very touching.                                                                                  Josh and Mario were pallbearers. The kids were all crying during the funeral. They were going to spread the pall over the casket, but they didn't want to go up.                        They had food at the community center in Maringouin after. We took pictures while everyone was together.  We will miss her! I'm glad that Josh had his grandmother for so long and that our kids got to know her and spend time with her 💗
